1. We use Authorize.net SIM payment gateway which as I understand it should be PCI compliant without using x-payments. Do I understand this correctly? YES
2. In a prior post, it was stated that an upgrade patch was being created. Will this upgrade from 4.4.5 to 4.5x? We are using xcart pretty much off the shelf at the moment as the standard features meet our needs without a great deal of massaging. Would I be better served by doing a new install pointing to the current 4.4.5 db? NO, You can't just point 4.4.5 db to 4.5.x install. DB has to be upgraded first. QT will soon release upgrade packs
